Abortion site hacker confesses

Last week, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) was made aware of a website breach that potentially exposed some data on users. While it stressed it did not keep records of women who received termination services, it did have records of people who requested information on abortion, contraception, pregnancy, testing for sexually transmitted diseases and sterilisation.

The Metropolitan Police's e-Crime Unit took up the case and quickly arrested 27-year-old James Jeffery, of Wednesbury in the British West Midlands. According to reports, he had bragged on Twitter about the breach, and threatened to release information to the public.

Over the weekend, Jeffery told a Westminster Magistrate's Court hearing that he decided against releasing the details because he thought doing so would be wrong. He targeted the website (including defacing it with an anti-abortion message) because two women he knew he knew had decided to get abortions.

Another closet case that couldn't get laid in a morgue has two females he was either friendly with or had his eyes set afar on, couldn't muster the nuts up to ask them out, something went wrong & they got pregnant. He's no trouper for any anti-abortion league (from what I'm getting from this article). Matter of fact he sounds pretty creepy & pathetic.

Just another whiny tool out for passionate revenge. He rolled & will get smacked for it. Nothing much more will come about it.
